Harshal Patel- 11.75 crores (Punjab Kings)

Haryana's right-arm fast bowler Harshal Patel was the most expensive Indian player in the IPL 2024 auction. He was bought by Punjab Kings for Rs 11.75 crore. Earlier, Harshal was a part of Royal Challengers Bangalore. His last season was not good. However, he has performed well in the domestic circuit. He has the experience of bowling well in the death overs in IPL, which Punjab would like to take advantage of. Harshal has played 92 matches in IPL and has taken 111 wickets with the help of an economy rate of 8.59. 

Sameer Rizvi- 8.40 crore (Chennai Super Kings)

20-year-old Sameer Rizvi was added by Chennai Super Kings for Rs 8.40 crore. Rizvi holds the record of hitting most sixes for Kanpur Superstars in the UP T20 League. Apart from this, he scored 455 runs in nine innings of the tournament while playing two centuries. However, in his first innings with Under-23, he showed a glimpse of his potential by scoring 91 runs in 65 balls in the ODI match against Rajasthan.

Shahrukh Khan- 7.40 crores (Gujarat Titans)

Shahrukh Khan has been successful in making his place at third place in this list. Gujarat Titans have included him in their team for Rs 7.40 crore. However, this powerful batsman has not yet been able to prove his usefulness in this league. However, he is known for fast runs and big hits. He has left his mark by performing well in domestic cricket. A team like Gujarat will use him properly. The big hitter has played 33 matches in the IPL and has scored 426 runs at a strike rate of 134.81. 

Kumar Kushagra – 7.20 crore (Delhi Capitals)

19-year-old Jharkhand wicketkeeper batsman Kumar Kushagra has been added by Delhi Capitals as the backup to Rishabh Pant. Although Abhishek Porel is in the team but he was failing to perform well as a batsman. In such a situation, it is considered certain that Kumar will get a chance. Kushagra played an important role in helping the team win the match by playing a brilliant half-century against Maharashtra in the Vijay Hazare Trophy. Jharkhand had a target of 355 runs to win the match against Maharashtra. In such a situation, Kumar played an important role in helping the team win the match by playing a half-century of 67 runs in 37 balls. He has shown enough glimpses of his potential. Kumar would like to perform something similar for Delhi. 

Shivam Mavi- 6.40 crore (Lucknow Super Giants)

Left-arm fast bowler Shivam Mavi was a part of Gujarat Titans last season but he did not get a chance to play in a single match. Gujarat released him before the IPL 2024 auction. In the 2024 auction, Lucknow Super Giants added him for Rs 6.40 crore. Shivam has played 32 matches in the IPL so far and has shown the way to the pavilion to 30 batsmen with the help of an economy rate of 8.71.
